The People's Republic of China published a commentary entitled "The Bell", in which he expressed his stance on the recent series of provocative actions by the Philippines in the South China Sea. The article criticizes the Philippines' provocative behavior in the South China Sea and clearly points out its collusion with the United States. The article warns that it will be very dangerous to ignore China's goodwill and restraint, and if the Philippines continues to create incidents, China will follow and respond resolutely.
Through the "Bell" commentary, state media expressed serious concern about the recent provocations by the Philippines. The Philippines' malicious provocations are not limited to Scarborough Shoal and Second Thomas Jiao, but also include challenging China's bottom line on many occasions. The Chinese side pointed out that the Philippines has repeatedly violated its commitments over the past 24 years, not only refusing to tow away the beach**, but also violating the "gentlemen's agreement" reached between the two sides. China had allowed the Philippines to send supplies, but the Philippines did not fulfill its commitments. The article reminds the Philippines that in history, many countries have tried to infringe on China's sovereignty, but they have all failed. The Philippines should be vigilant, and the comments of the people are already a serious warning.
The article pointed out that although China has not yet said "do not say anything unpredictable", this is not a laissez-faire for the provocation of the Philippines, but hopes that the Philippines can pull back from the precipice. After the publication of the article, it was already a serious warning.
On the South China Sea issue, China has entered the era of a modern navy and has a strong military force. In stark contrast, the Philippines has a relatively limited navy, far behind China in terms of equipment and performance. The article warns the Philippines not to rely on the United States for protection, but to be soberly aware of its own vulnerability.
On the 25th, China made a statement on the official media article, saying that China will firmly safeguard its sovereign rights and interests and open the door to negotiation and dialogue. China hopes that the Philippines will restrain its behavior and refrain from challenging China's bottom line. The article concludes by reminding that if the Philippines continues to provoke, it may face a moment of "not being unpredictable" in the future.
